Aside from sitting on a chair with a 22 all night, what can I use in my garden that will keep the cats out?

You forgot about getting a cat-chasing dog.
Anyway, if they are using your yard for a kitty box, try covering the ground with chicken wire, cutting out sections for your shrubs, etc. They can't bury their pooh because they can't scratch.
There are also repellants, some may actually work. (Shake-Away™ Small Critter Powder is refined Fox urine). One nifty device fits on the end of your garden hose and when the electric eye is triggered, water squirts from the sprinkler attachment. http://www.garden-pest-control.biz/water...
Finally if you could trap the beasts you could ship them off to the shelter. Cats are tough to capture though, they are just too smart.
Cayenne pepper. Sprinkle it around.
You could try a Pitbull . that might help. : )
Before upsetting animal activists, try putting mothballs around perimeter of yard and rub them on top of fences and rails. Get a live trap and then call animal control. But for God's sake don't shoot 'em. Someone will call cops on you! I understand your frustration. My wife is an animal lover.
get a friend to bring over there dog and let it piss all around your garden they will stay away or put food out for black bird's cat's are scared of them
Go to a feed supply store and get a small electric wire. It will not kill them but you will be able to sleep well knowing they are not going in your garden.
If anyone ever shot my cat, he would die a horrible death. No gunshot for you. Torture you for hours before I cut your head off.
220 volts outta do it.
OK, a string of barbed wire ?
mn-m-m-m-m, tough crowd
alrighty...canine pee-er
oh, I meant Cayenne pepper.
the dogs,rabbit or the deer won't like it either lol
My cats had no appreciation whatsoever for orange peels. It turned their noses up almost as fast as if you put a bottle nail polish under their noses. That's a lot of oranges and the scent would not last long, but it could help temporarily.
I have used moth balls a few times, it works however you may have to put them out ever now and then. At first the smell is a little over welming if you use to many so just put out enough to keep the kitties away.
